Well, well, well who would have thought Louis Walsh was a hero?
The X Factor judge played the knight in shining armour after Diego Bivero-Volpe was knocked unconscious outside an exclusive Mayfair Club.
Diego is set to be joining the show in the next few weeks, but you may remember his name as he once dated serial-dater on the show Kimberely Ganer.
Anyway when Diego came round, Louis called a taxi and accompanied him and a group of his mates home, as well as paying the £15 fare and a £5 tip.
The best bit about this story is that at the time Diego said he didn?t recognise Louis.
Speaking about the incident, Diego said: ?At 1am we decided to move on to another venue. We were by no means drunk,
?A car pulled up and the windows wound down and three men and the driver were shouting abusive language.
‘They were spitting from the window and being abusive, so I told them to stop being so rude.
?Then three of the men got out and started attacking us.
?Two of the men stood in front of me and one was behind me.
‘The two men at the front both punched me and I dodged one punch, but the other punch connected with my jaw. I was woozy from that when I felt what I assume was another fist at the back of my head by my ear which knocked me out completely.
?When I came round I was lying on the floor and Louis Walsh had come out of the club. He said, ?Are you OK? I saw the whole thing. This is the name, make and model of the car. I am so sorry you had to go through that.?
?He asked me if I needed to go to hospital.?
Oh good we were wondering if Louis had asked that. At that point the police were called but they said they wouldn?t be able to get there until 5am, so the group decided to leave and report the incident the following day.
Diego continued: ?Louis said he would get us a taxi. He was going to Kensington in West London, because he was staying in a hotel there, and we were going to Brompton, which is nearby, so we all got in one cab.
?In the taxi he was saying, ?I can?t believe it, they are animals. It?s the worst I?ve ever seen. Are you sure you?re OK??
?Then he asked me if I recognised him from TV.
?I don?t watch The X Factor so I said, ?No, I?m sorry, no I don?t.?
?Louis got out first and gave the driver a £20 note, even though the whole journey only cost £15, which was very generous of him.
?My friends told me later who he was and I just want to say thank you to Louis for being so kind.?
Speaking about the incident last night, Louis said: ?I did what any other person would have done and helped someone out who was in distress.?
Blimey Louis Walsh being modest? That?s quite a turn out for the books, what a guy.
